Summary

Digital image processing and analysis is a field that continues to experience rapid growth, with applications in many facets of our lives. Areas such as medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, communication systems, and space exploration are just a few of the application areas. This book takes an engineering approach to image processing and analysis, including more examples and images throughout the text than the previous edition. It provides more material for illustrating the concepts, along with new PowerPoint slides. The application development has been expanded and updated, and the related chapter provides step-by-step tutorial examples for this type of development. The new edition also includes supplementary exercises, as well as MATLAB-based exercises, to aid both the reader and student in development of their skills.

Author(s) Bio

Dr. Scott E Umbaugh is a Professor and Graduate Program Director for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE). He is also the Director of the Computer Vision and Image Processing (CVIP) Laboratory at SIUE. He has been teaching computer vision and image processing, as well as computer and electrical engineering design, for over 25 years. His professional interests include digital image processing education, research and development of both human and computer vision applications, and engineering design education. Prior to his academic career, Dr. Umbaugh worked as a computer design engineer and project manager in the avionics and telephony industries. He has been a computer imaging consultant since 1986 and has provided consulting services for the aerospace, medical and manufacturing industries with projects ranging from automatic identification of defects in microdisplay chips to analysis of thermographic images for clinical diagnosis of brain disease. He has performed research and development for projects funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the U. S. Department of Defense. Dr. Umbaugh is the author or co-author of numerous technical papers, two edited books, and four textbooks in the fields of computer vison, image processing and pattern recognition. His books are used at academic and research organizations throughout the world. He has served on editorial boards and as a reviewer for a variety of IEEE journals and has evaluated research monographs and textbooks in the imaging field.

Dr. Umbaugh received his B.S.E. degree with honors from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 1982, M.S.E.E. in 1987 and Ph.D. in 1990 from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he was a Chancellor's Fellow. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), a member of Sigma Xi and the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE). Dr. Umbaugh is also the primary developer of the CVIPtools software package and the associated CVIP Matlab Tooolbox.

Reviews

"This book is a good reference in the area of image processing and computer vision. The text is supplemented with a very valuable software package: CVIP, that support the user in understanding and exploring the concepts and give the reader hands-on experience on the concepts, which make it different from many other books in the area of image processing and computer vision. It covers up-to-date topics and algorithms used in the topics related to image processing and computer vision. The book can be used as bases for further investigation as it covers applications related to interesting research topics. Moreover, the book can be used for self-learning for those who are interested in gaining knowledge in the field of image processing and computer vision as it describes the topics in simple, straightforward, and hands-on experience manner."— Abdullah Basuhail, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia

"This textbook includes a clear description of the most important concepts in digital image processing, avoiding deep Mathematics. Its "engineering approach" is a good compromise between more theoretical textbooks and simple tutorials of Digital Image Processing/Computer Vision software and libraries. It also provides many example applications and case studies, some of them particularly interesting for students of Health and Biomedical Engineering. The companion software and tools strengthen its practical approach allowing the reader to practice all the techniques and to easily develop their own applications.The new edition updates the CVIP development environment; it provides more example state-of-the-art applications; and (most important) adds a new CVIPtools Matlab Toolbox. This is definitely a great advantage over the previous edition as it allows students, faculty and researchers an easy way to develop powerful digital image processing applications without the need of strong C/C++ programming skills."— Jose Luis Sevillano, Universidad de Sevilla, Spain

"Most digital image processing/analysis (DIPA) books are inaccessible to the average reader due to complicated (and often continuous-time) formulae and lack of examples/applications of the theoretical concepts covered. This book is unique in that it is practical as well as application-oriented. The book comes with a comprehensive software suite that allows the readers to apply any algorithm discussed in the text to their images. In summary, this book and its accompanying software provide a wonderful environment for learning/teaching DIPA concepts."—M. Emre Celebi, University of Central Arkansas, USA

What does "CPD Certified" mean?

CPD consists of any educational activity which helps to maintain and develop knowledge, problem-solving, and technical skills with the aim to provide better health care through higher standards. It could be through conference attendance, group discussion or directed reading to name just a few examples.
